PostgreSQL provides one external tool to configure SQL job; the name is PGAgent.</p>
<p>PGAgent is an external tool by the Postgres community which is used to create and manage database jobs.</p>
<p>Below is a demonstration for configuring PGAgent in a windows environment using PGAdmin.</p>
<p><b>How to configure PGAgent in PostgreSQL (windows) ?</b></p>
<p><b>Step 1 :</b> download PGAgent using Stack Builder. Go to your Postgres option menu where you can find one more link for Stack Builder. Now, as per below image select pgAgent and press Next.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/StackBuilder.png"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-151 size-full aligncenter" title="Stack Builder" src="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/StackBuilder.png" alt="Stack Builder" width="618" height="423" srcset="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/StackBuilder.png 618w, https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/StackBuilder-300x205.png 300w, https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/StackBuilder-150x103.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px" /></a><b></b></p>
<p><b>Step 2:</b> Now it will automatically download pgAgent so wait for few minutes and please make sure that your internet connection is working.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DonwloadingPGAgent.png"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-146 size-full" title="Donwloading PGAgent" src="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DonwloadingPGAgent.png" alt="DonwloadingPGAgent" width="625" height="429" srcset="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DonwloadingPGAgent.png 625w, https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DonwloadingPGAgent-300x206.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></a></p>
<p><b>Step 3:</b> After completion of download you can screen of PGAgent for further installation.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/InstallPgAgent.png"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-148 size-full" title="Install PgAgent" src="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/InstallPgAgent.png" alt="InstallPgAgent" width="560" height="437" srcset="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/InstallPgAgent.png 560w, https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/InstallPgAgent-300x234.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px" /></a></p>
<p><b>Step 4 :</b> Configure authentication detail to access Postgres database server. Please note that PGAgent is running under super user access. In below image, Postgres is a super user of PostgreSQL Database Server.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/PgAgentConfiguration.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-149 size-full" title="PgAgent Configuration" src="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/PgAgentConfiguration.png" alt="PgAgentConfiguration" width="561" height="437" srcset="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/PgAgentConfiguration.png 561w, https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/PgAgentConfiguration-300x234.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 561px) 100vw, 561px" /></a></p>
<p><b>Step 5 :</b> Configure local postgres client password. <span style="color: #0000ff;"><b><a href="https://www.dbrnd.com/2015/05/how-to-reset-postgres-user-password-in/">You can visit this link for more details on client password location. </a></b></span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/PostgersPassowrd.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-150 size-full" title="Postgers Passowrd" src="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/PostgersPassowrd.png" alt="PostgersPassowrd" width="564" height="441" srcset="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/PostgersPassowrd.png 564w, https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/PostgersPassowrd-300x235.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px" /></a><b></b></p>
<p><b>Step 6 :</b> Now complete PGAgent installation and verify using PGAdmin. You can find one new pgAgent catalogs in Postgres database. As marked below you can also find Job icon in the main category.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><b>Note : Only super user or administrator can create and manage this job. This icon is only visible to administrator login (postgres super user login.).</b></span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/VerifyPGAgent.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-144 size-full" title="Verify PGAgent" src="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/VerifyPGAgent.png" alt="VerifyPGAgent" width="384" height="661" srcset="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/VerifyPGAgent.png 384w, https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/VerifyPGAgent-174x300.png 174w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p>
<p><b>Step 7 :</b> To create you first SQL Job. Right click on the job and select to create new SQL Job. Give the name of your job and prepare for next step. Make sure that job is Enabled.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/CreateFirstSQLJob.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-145 size-full" title="Create First PostgreSQL Job" src="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/CreateFirstSQLJob.png" alt="CreateFirstSQLJob" width="358" height="535" srcset="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/CreateFirstSQLJob.png 358w, https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/CreateFirstSQLJob-201x300.png 201w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px" /></a></p>
<p><b>Step 8:</b> Create definition of job. Give the name of step and define definition or action script into Definition tab. You can also select the remote option when the job is required to execute on the remote machine.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/StepToCreate.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-152 size-full" title="Step To Create PostgreSQL Job" src="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/StepToCreate.png" alt="StepToCreate" width="475" height="499" srcset="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/StepToCreate.png 475w, https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/StepToCreate-286x300.png 286w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/InsertDefinition.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-147 size-full" title="Insert Definition in PostgresSQL Job" src="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/InsertDefinition.png" alt="InsertDefinition" width="474" height="506" srcset="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/InsertDefinition.png 474w, https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/InsertDefinition-281x300.png 281w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px" /></a></p>
<p><b>Step 9:</b> Now create a schedule to execute SQL Job. In this window, you can select Days and times. Select all means at every minute, hour, day.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/TimeToExecute.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-153 size-full" title="Time To Execute of PostgreSQL Job" src="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/TimeToExecute.png" alt="TimeToExecute" width="349" height="466" srcset="https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/TimeToExecute.png 349w, https://www.dbrnd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/TimeToExecute-225x300.png 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px" /></a></p>
<p class="separator">Now your PGAgent tool is configured and also we have created one Job to insert test data into table at every minute.</p>
<p class="separator">Please note: This PGAgent / Database Job is only created and manage by administrator and another database user can not even see this jobs.</p>
